Obviously some kind of fantasy

Given the perfect storm currently surrounding Big Brother (latest: Carphone Warehouse have suspended their sponsorship of the show), wouldn’t it be enormously ironic if anyone senior at Channel 4 turned out to be openly racist? Just imagine if, for example, they had previously been known to harp on and on about the diverse racial backgrounds of their staff and then, when a black member of staff was replaced by a white Australian, told the person who had hired them, “I’m glad to see you’ve abandoned your policy of positive discrimination. I hope to see more improvements in the future”.

Luckily, that could only happen in some fantastical, libellous alternate reality.

Popbitch has pointed out that since she originally emerged from the BB house she has been managed by the same company as Davina McCall, Dermot O'Leary, Russell Brand and Chantelle. C4 and BB are reticent about criticising her, as (a) they're protecting their interests and (b) they're the ones who thought it would be a good idea to bring in her and her "family" in the first place.

Ah, so now we have racism AND incest.

Now that's what I call family entertainment in post-modernist Britain.
